STUDENT AFFAIRS
A COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS AND PROFESSIONALS
As part of a lively community of student scholars, you will find that networking begins with
first-day introductions. Your fellow students share your drive to excel and to lead. You join a
student body that is both professionally and culturally diverse. The classroom experience is
characterized by the interchange of ideas among students and professors.
Many of our students are mid- to senior-level professionals employed in major corporations from
around the world. They desire the business acumen and technical skills necessary to become
strategic leaders. Their excellence produces an intensive peer-to-peer learning experience—a unique
complement to the robust curriculum. Most of these men and women are already working in high-tech,
new media, or financial services professions, while others are setting forth on a new professional
path.
With the largest international student population of any university in the country—and a faculty
that represents a similar diversity in background and scholarship—NYU’s online and on-site
classrooms come alive with a cultural, professional, and intellectual discourse that has a global
context.
NETWORKING AND PROFESSIONAL EVENTS
Networking opportunities are an important part of the graduate program, and we maintain
strong industry connections that serve your career goals well. Individual consultations with
advisors, discussions about job opportunities and trends, and access to alumni in strategic
positions are integral to the program. A variety of annual alumni events, centered on key topics
and presented by industry executives, provide opportunities for you to meet graduates, develop
insight into other aspects of the industry, and cultivate a positive network of colleagues.
SCPS OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS
The
SCPS Office of Student Affairs offers a wide variety
of programs and services designed to help our diverse student population make the most of their NYU
experience and grow within a community of scholars and fellow professionals. The Office of Student
Affairs can provide you with information about academic resources, ways to get involved in student
life on campus, and how to obtain assistance and support. From University and SCPS services to
academic policies and protocols, there is a wealth of information with which to become familiar.
NYU UNIVERSITY-WIDE STUDENT CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS
In addition to the broad range of industry professionals and guest speakers you meet in the
classroom, you are able to choose any of
NYU’s 350 clubs and associations as your
primary venues for student involvement,
career
networking, and meeting classmates with similar goals, interests, and hobbies. Even as a
part-time graduate student, you are encouraged to participate in
student governance,
graduate student organizations, and special-interest clubs. As an active
graduate student, you are invited to an extraordinary array of events and opportunities to expand
yourself both intellectually and professionally. You may participate in school-wide or
program-specific forums, seminars, and conferences offered by the School, as well as by other NYU
schools and colleges and their affiliated professional associations. These types of activities add
greatly to your student experience and enhance your networking opportunities.
